also worthy of note are the ranger RCI2950 and family 2960, 70 and 80/90, 
and uniden HR2510.
The RCI2950 isn't too bad to use as a blind person...you can easily create 
memory channels, select them, and hit one button to dump the memory contents 
to VFO thus placing you at that frequency in the VFO so you can dial up and 
down from that point.
 Creating the memory is one or two button presses...all the functions are 
either controlled via a knob or button on the radio.
I think they are 40 watts on SSB and 20 or 30 on FM stock.
Rather cheap on ebay and else where...just be careful of the CB'ers selling 
them as they've probably been screw drivered to death.
in other words, if the add says something like 50 or 60 or 100 watts output 
with echo board installed or something, it's a cb.  or if it claims the best 
modulation or that it comes with a power mike or anything, again, C B>
